This story about bombs on a golf course is the scariest thing you'll read all day

October 12, 2015

Sorry to alarm everyone, but two bombs were found on a golf course. And we're not talking about some dangerous course in North Korea. We're talking northern California.

According to Reuters, Kevin Hornbuckle was arrested and accused of planting two homemade bombs at the Foxtail Golf Club, which is approximately 50 miles north of San Francisco. Hornbuckle, 49, faces charges of possession and manufacturing of a destructive device.

Club members discovered one of the devices on Saturday on the 18th hole. The club was evacuated and police destroyed the bomb. The second device was found Friday night after it had already been detonated.

Authorities said Hornbuckle described the device as an "acid bomb." Not sure what that means exactly, but regardless, it's not good.
